BREAKING: Starlink is delivering faster download speeds than other terrestrial ISPs in 22 out of 23 markets in Africa, per Ookla. • Upload speeds doubled in Central & East Africa and nearly tripled in Southern Africa. • Now serving ~500,000 users across rapidly expanding markets. • Latency reduced by over 80% in Southern & Eastern Africa since 2024. • 5 to 6 times faster than local providers in Botswana and Guinea Bissau Starlink is helping connect schools, businesses, homes and remote communities that were ignored for decades. It is becoming Africa’s internet lifeline. Meanwhile, South Africa continues to block it because of its racist BEE laws, denying its own citizens access to fast reliable internet.

Personal agents will be as ubiquitous as email - everyone will have at least one When email first came on the scene it was highly fragmented, and it took a long time for everyone to get on board ISPs like EarthLink and AT&T gave them to users, then AOL, Yahoo and Hotmail become popular, and lots of people funnily used their uni address for a long time It wasn’t until 5-10 years later when Gmail went GA that the market started to consolidate I suspect we see the same action in the agent space - for the next few years it’s proliferation and fragmentation, then we start to see consolidation So think carefully before throwing down at $10b for something that could just be a Prodigy or EarthLink

A data breach at Japanese telecom company KDDI may have exposed the email addresses and passwords of up to 14.2 million accounts across six internet service providers (ISPs). According to KDDI, hackers gained access by exploiting a vulnerability in third-party software used by one of its email systems. The company says it blocked the attackers after discovering the breach and is working with the affected ISPs to improve security. The exact number of affected accounts is still being investigated. KDDI also said some passwords were stored in hashed or encrypted form, but it did not specify how many.

📡 Kinda anecdotal but I now have 2 friends with @Starlink (and so 3 if you include me) I loaned my Starlink Mini to @mick__net after his 🇵🇹 Portuguese ISP @NOS was (and still is!) down for 2+ months, while he lives 500 meters away from the NOS headquarters in Lisbon 😂 Nobody can fix it, customer support is useless and even cancelling his plan is difficult Anyway Starlink Mini got him his internet back immediately and saved his ass cause he had to work, and now he ordered his own and gave mine back, which I then used for traveling in Greece, and he's a Starlink convert Now today my other friend @cso_notes also got one in 🇷🇴 Romania! Adoption in Europe always comes a bit later than in US, but I think Starlink is starting to get a significant presence now Many people who I tell about Starlink are still skeptical about satellite internet, they always talk about latency issues, and they think latency is like 1 second but it's more like 10ms (1/100th of a second) which is the same or better than regular fiber internet I've never had so LITTLE issues with internet as since I had Starlink, it's never been down, it always just works and customer support is via chat and works really well I absolutely HATE having to call a phone number and be on hold for 30min or more and then wasting most of my day on stuff like this, which par for the course with Portuguese ISPs (and well every Portuguese business) So having Starlink is a godsend for me, it just works! 🙏

My ISP's DNS crapped out, and the modem page is bugged and changing it doesn't work. Codex reconfigured my routers to bypass it, and now I'm back online! Highly recommend using codex to optimize your home network!
